Gavin & Stacey favourite Rob Brydon’s “thrilling” new BBC show confirms July release date

Prepare yourself for an exciting new game show that’s set to dominate your evenings! That’s right, the much-anticipated launch of Destination X is now confirmed, revealing its official release date.

In the shoes of a game-loving enthusiast, I find myself embarking on an intriguing journey across Europe, guided by none other than the charismatic Rob Brydon in this BBC series. It’s not just a trip; it’s a thrilling competition with a group of fellow adventurers!

Participants need to determine their positions by participating in tasks that provide them with hints. However, will they manage to steer clear of some deceiving leads along the way?

As reported by RadioTimes, the show is set to begin on Wednesday, the 30th of July, at 9 PM, on both BBC One and BBC iPlayer. The second episode will be aired the next day, that is, Thursday, the 31st of July, at the same time.

In this grandiose, blended-genre TV show, viewers journey alongside competitors as they take part in an unforgettable adventure competition, all while being oblivious to their actual location.

In every installment, contestants try to figure out their current location on a real-world game board. Those who are farthest away from the actual spot may be disqualified from the game.

Whoever is first to reach ‘Destination X’ will take home the crown.

The original format of this show hails from Belgium, and it’s been adapted into numerous international versions. One such adaptation is a U.S. series, which features Jeffrey Dean Morgan as its host.

Simultaneously, UK presenter Brydon has voiced his enthusiasm for the forthcoming BBC series, referring to himself as the “master of strings.

As a gaming enthusiast, I’d never pass up the chance to be the brain behind Destination X, the exhilarating new travel show landing on BBC next year!

This program transforms Europe into a game board, controlling both the players on screen and viewers at home. I’m eagerly anticipating the chance to pull the strings, guiding every move and plot twist, as our competitors embark on an adventure where nothing is as it seems. Buckle up for a thrilling journey!

Destination X begins on Wednesday 30 July at 9pm on BBC One and iPlayer.

The latest print edition from Digital Spy, titled “Oasis – Live in ’25”, is available for purchase! Grab a copy at your local newsstands or buy it online at the special price of only £8.99.
